The notion of extra classes or tuition centres during school days is something that has been in vogue for quite sometime now. In earlier days, when I was still in school, only those who were really incapable of following the class room sessions and those who could afford would go for tuition. Or it was the notorious who wouldn't pay attention in class or those finding it really difficult to comprehend what was taught in a class, who would be told to attend the extra classes.
Then came an era when only the brighter students started taking tuition classes. Those who needed the basic push or additional help to understand the portion, still went to tuition, but to a different place or with a different teacher. The latter and the former were not at the same place or in one tuition room. The former went to tuition to increase their marks in the final exam. The latter went to score passing marks. Of course, the goal was and still remains, of scoring marks. The aim never was, and still isn't, to become more educated!!!
